Russian Counter-Strike 2 squad PARAVISION has had its Shanghai Major disqualification thrown out after it was revealed the banned coach was, in fact, unbanned. The coach successfully appealed the ban, but this information wasn’t passed between the Esports Integrity Commission, Valve, and Major organizers Perfect World, which has led to a reversal.

PARAVISION will suit up for the European RMR and attempt to qualify for the Shanghai Major after the team and coach Ivan “F_1N” Kochugov argued to Perfect World over the nature of the ban yesterday. Sources told HLTV that F_1N had actually appealed to have his ESIC ban and demerit points reduced earlier in 2024 and was successful, meaning he would be fine to participate in this year’s Shanghai Major.
